The number of flu patients has doubled since last week, over 31,000 people seeking medical advice, epidemiology centre OEK reported. In the second half of the week, the number of patients seeing their doctors because of flu-like symptoms has increased in all parts of the country, OEK said.

A flu epidemic has broken out in Hungary, the National Epidemiology Centre (OEC) announced on Wednesday. According to doctors’ reports monitored by OEC, more than 16,000 patients sought medical treatment for flu symptoms last week, twice as many as during the previous week.

2016 was a tumultuous year for Hungarians. As 2017 begins, we asked a range of public figures across Hungary’s ideological spectrum — from current members of parliament to members of civil society and former politicians — what kind of challenges the nation can expect this year.

The prime minister said that the European dream is over and whereas in the past decisions had to be made about how to distribute money, currently a general feeling of austerity is the norm. Western Europe has been taking in migrants for decades but their integration has been an “obvious failure,” Viktor Orbán told regional dailies published by press group Mediaworks.

Having spent some HUF 17 billion (USD 60 million) in 2016 informing the Hungarian public about the existential threat to the country posed by the temporary settlement of 1,700 asylum seekers, the government of Viktor Orbán seems set to spend lavishly on a new “public information” campaign ahead of the 2018 election.

Prime Minister’s Office leader János Lázár is initiating talks with health organisations on medical documents, he announced yesterday. Lázár said the question has arisen as to whether patients have the right to see and understand their medical documents.

Hungary’s health-care system saw big changes in financing after 2010, and several health indicators have improved as a result, as confirmed by data published in a recent OECD report, Bence Rétvári, state secretary at the human resources ministry, said.
